FESTIVE FRIDAY #19 CHALLENGE: STAMPIN' UP!'S SIMPLY SENT EVERYDAY ELEGANCE

I was so energised by my discovery of my Simply Sent kit from Stampin' Up!  (see this post), that I just had to make another card.  Inspiration came from the DT samples for this week's Festive Friday Challenge, hosted by Nicole Derendorf.  This week Nicole has set a product challenge, to use glitter or glimmer on a Christmas card. I especially liked Sarah's use of the Owl Builder punch, and silver glimmer paper to "festive him up".  I've also embossed white card with polka dots, as Sarah did.

Here's my version, using one of the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler cards from Stampin' Up!'s Everyday Elegance Simply Sent kit:






Stamps: Contempo Christmas
Card: Everyday Elegance Simply Sent card base, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Whisper White cardstock
DSP: Early Espresso Patterns Designer Series Paper, Silver and Red Glimmer papers
Ink: Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler stampin' pads
Other: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, 1 3/4" circle punch, Owl Builder punch, Scallop Oval punch. 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, sponge dauber, Tombow liquid glue, Cherry Cobbler quilted satin ribbon (not available here)
